de010cdfd0 Add support to the 'ether' address family to support setting of addresses.
This allows you to set ether addresses with 'ifconfig ether'.  Also, use
some saner socket address families that allow several special case tests
to be removed.

b106252c19 Implement SIOCSIFLLADDR, which allows you to change the link-level
address on an interface. This basically allows you to do what my
little setmac module/utility does via ifconfig. This involves the
following changes:

socket.h: define SIOCSIFLLADDR
if.c: add support for SIOCSIFLLADDR, which resets the values in
      the arpcom struct and sockaddr_dl for the specified interface.
      Note that if the interface is already up, we need to down/up
      it in order to program the underlying hardware's receive filter.
ifconfig.c: add lladdr command
ifconfig.8: document lladdr command

You can now force the MAC address on any ethernet interface to be
whatever you want. (The change is not sticky across reboots of course:
we don't actually reprogram the EEPROM or anything.) Actually, you
can reprogram the MAC address on other kinds of interfaces too; this
shouldn't be ethernet-specific (though at the moment it's limited to
6 bytes of address data).

Nobody ran up to me and said "this is the politically correct way to
do this!" so I don't want to hear any complaints from people who think
I could have done it more elegantly. Consider yourselves lucky I didn't
do it by having ifconfig tread all over /dev/kmem.

94fafad064 Support IPv6 scoped addr in ifconfig and route
IPv6 scoped addr display is not yet supported by ifconfig
   and route. Now almost of IPv6 apps support it, so its support
   in ifconfig and route is important to keep consisetncy, and
   to avoid user confusion.

f3722ef609 If we don't appear to have a module loaded supporting the interface
we're about to operate on, try to load one.  Don't complain if the
load fails, and always press on regardless (there may not be a module
suitable or required).

With the renaming of the PCI ethernet driver modules and the addition
of appropriate miibus dependancies on those modules that need it, it is
now no longer necessary to compile many ethernet drivers into the kernel;
they will be loaded on demand the first time they are ifconfig'ed.

413dd0ba39 Add a new interface ioctl, to return "aux status".
This is inteded for to allow ifconfig to print various unstructured
information from an interface.

The data is returned from the kernel in ASCII form, see the comment in
if.h for some technicalities.

Canonical cut&paste example to be found in if_tun.c

Initial use:
        Now tun* interfaces tell the PID of the process which opened them.

Future uses could be (volounteers welcome!):
        Have ppp/slip interfaces tell which tty they use.
        Make sync interfaces return their media state: red/yellow/blue
        alarm, timeslot assignment and so on.
        Make ethernets warn about missing heartbeats and/or cables

cf4b937128 Introduce IFF_SMART bit.
This means that the driver will add/delete routes when it knows it is
up/down, rather than have the generic code belive it is up if configured.

This is probably most useful for serial lines, although many PHY chips
could probably tell us if we're connected to the cable/hub as well.

91ba27a769 ioctl() request args are unsigned longs, so don't attempt to store

ed055a8342 Second try at cleanups and fixes (without if_media stuff for the moment)
- parse command options using getopt for consistancy
- sanitise the command parsing so that it's less like spaghetti
- implement a "-l" option (idea from NetBSD - just list names)
- attempt to clean up the sysctl parsing loop some more.  It still needs
  to be taken out the back and shot though.
- cut down on global usage, but there's a lot more scope for this.
- make usage string a bit closer to reality (it was missing lots of things)

Unfortunately, I did this for the second time but with the memory of
the NetBSD version still recently in my mind.  It's hard to redo simple
changes or getopt stuff without making it look like what you've been
working with a few hours ago.
